10 Delight is not suitable for a fool; much less for a slave to have rule over princes.
11 The discretion of a man defers his anger, and it is his glory to pass over a transgression.
12 The king’s wrath is as the roaring of a lion, but his favour is as dew upon the grass.
13 A foolish son is a pain unto his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping.
14 House and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but the prudent wife is from the Lord.
15 Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and the negligent soul shall suffer hunger.
16 He that keeps the commandment keeps his own soul, but he that despises his ways shall die.
